wiring for pioneer GM-H44 amp

[outback_Aust]

Hi, I'm a bit new to stereo wiring so excuse the basic question... How do I wire up a Pioneer GM-H44 amplifier. My head unit has rear RCA outputs, which plug should I use - RCA A or RCA B? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm literally 6 hours from the nearest town...

if you mean RCA-A as in front preamp outputs and RCA-B as in rear preamp outputs, then A if u wanna amp the front speakers, or B if u want to amp the rear speakers.

but then i dont know the specs of this deck, its just my best guest as most decks always have speaker preamp outputs rather than a sub outlet.

as for wiring an amp to car speakers, ive never done that before. but i think you can amp it internally by using the deck or externally by running the speaker wire on the actual speakers? excuse if im wrong, someone chime in

I'm trying to figure out if I should be wiring the amp directly to the head unit then speakers to the amp or if the speakers should go directly to the head unit...

what do you want to run off the amp.. the 4 main speakers or do you have subs?

also you asked if you should run the speakers to the head unit??

how do you have the speakers connected now?
